Going gold for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month with Kat Benjamin

Going Gold for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Kat Benjamin

The whole month of September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month. Those of you who have followed my blog for a while know I lost a dear one this past March. Duncan Campbell was only 2 and passed of brain cancer. He was the son of a very close friend. All this month I've been incorporating gold in my lifestyle and crafting and I am so happy that Kat has jumped on the band wagon to support this great effort to raise awareness.

Help increase Childhood Cancer Awareness at:
"A Day of Yellow and Gold to Fight Childhood Cancer"

Spackle & Muslin Bag DIY with Jenifer Cowles

Spackle and Muslin Bag Tutorial
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Jenifer Cowles

My Pinterest boards are filled with projects that use texture mediums and stencils, but until today I've been too chicken to try it for myself. Jen is back sharing a super easy project on adding texture to our muslin bags. I can't wait to try this out!

Jenifer placed a stencil over one of our muslin bags. Ensuring it was flat she used regular household spackle (found in any hardware store or even Walmart). She spread a thin and even layer over the stencil with a spatula and then lifted the stencil off.

Allow the spackle to dry completely based on the manufacturer's recommendations and then embellish. Jenifer topped her bag with our ruffled fabric ribbon, clothes pins,  fabric flowers and glitter butterflies.

My Girl Layout with Jenifer Cowels

Today we have a gorgeous layout from Jenifer Cowels to share with you.  Jenifer shared with us some thoughts about this layout:

"I love the way this layout came together.  It was a fast one only took about 30 minutes which is super fast for me, I have been known to spend an entire weekend on a layout to get it just right.  After the mist dried I went to work and my little focal cluster came together beautifully."

We couldn't agree more.  This layout is perfection!

Fresh Air Layout with Kat Benjam

I always have a hard time when working with purple so I absolutely love Kat's layout today.  The contrast of the purple and blue on the white background is stunning and her flecks of color in enamel dotes and mists perfectly highlight the bright color and airy feel of her photographs. This one is definitely going to we a scraplift for me.
